Batman: Arkham City is a Wii U launch day title

Warner Interactive’s Batman: Arkham City Armoured Edition is to be a Wii U launch day game.

The title had previously been penciled in for the console’s “launch window”. It will now release alongside the console itself on November 30th.

It’s developed not by Rocksteady but instead by Warner Bros Games Montreal. It offers fundamentally the same experience as the Xbox, PS3 and PC version, although several alterations have been made to make use of the Wii U GamePad.

Also included in the SKU is all of the DLC available on other platforms as well as new suits and tech offering additional in-game powers

“Batman: Arkham City Armoured Edition harnesses the power of the Wii U system and the Wii U GamePad with features that allow fans to further immerse themselves in the role of Batman like never before,” Warner Interactive president Martin Tremblay stated.

“WB Games Montréal evolved the incredible hit game by Rocksteady into a truly unique experience on Wii U.”
